Korea was a pretty dicey situation and some Harsh Decisions had to be made far too quickly, [would you want Kim Il-sung to control the entire Korean Peninsula?] but all this hand wringing fifty years after the fact just shows how we Americans are actually lousy imperialists.

If we were really serious about this Imperialism shit, we'd have nuked Pyongyang as soon as the North Koreans took Seoul. Trust me, Moscow and Beijing would have backtracked PDQ.

..yeah, I'm kinda unsentimental about these matters..
